I feel sure this is the Antoine who
died at Ark Post in 1794. Why a will
at this early date except perhaps because
of the ever present danger of a hunter from
Indian as evidenced by this form letter written
from Ark Post 2 Feb 1771 by Driets to Gov. at
N.O. "The Osage Indians have robbed 4 coroners [?] &
stole 20 horses, recording to Antoine Lepine who
was also robbed of some cow hides, gunpowder and
weapons. He arrived at the Post on Jan 29
in very bad shape...."
LAQ 19 p 1096 12 June 1748 - apprenticeship
before notary of Antoine L'Epine, aged about 18 years,
to Michel Fortier, gunsmith of the King, Charles Lincto,
his stepfather, stipulating for him, clauses & conditions
enumerated in contract, payment agreed on being fifty
pounds of tallow and _____ pots of oil per year.
